  1. Roper Saint Francis

    FurmanGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm halfway through my BSN program and need major financial assistance. I'm only eligible for private loans at this point. I recently received information about a nursing scholarship program through...

  2. How much does a RN in SC make?

    FurmanGirl replied to Jalpr10441's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure about the other states, but Charlotte, NC has a high cost of living, as does Charleston, SC. I'm not sure how they compare to one another. If you take into account the cost of living,...

  3. How Much Does a STUDENT NURSE TECH Make???

    FurmanGirl replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    In the upstate it's generally $9-10/hr base

  4. Greenville/Spartanburg

    FurmanGirl replied to Stdy2BaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am an upstate native and I LOVE Greenville. You should definitely venture downtown. They have tons of activities, especially during the summer. Of all the places there, you should go to the Reedy...

  5. NAVY or RAF nursing?

    FurmanGirl replied to nursejules26's topic in International Nursing

    I've seen this said a lot, so I'd thought I'd share what I learned. Today there was a Navy recruiter at our school. He told us that nursing is LAND based in the Navy. The only medical personnel on...

  6. Update

    FurmanGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A few months ago I posted a thread titled "Exasperated..5th rejection?!." Well, I took some more classes while applying to two more schools. I had resigned myself to working full-time through August...

  7. Update

    FurmanGirl replied to FurmanGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first day was great, as was today. My professors are really nice; I will meet the last one tomorrow. The course load doesn't seem bad at all. We just went over the basic intro stuff, so the only...

  8. MUSC Employees

    FurmanGirl replied to KK7724's topic in General Nursing

    Go to MUSC's education page and click on the school of nursing. The one person I always talk to there is Carolyn Page and she's really great. Anyway, someone there should be able to either tell you...

  9. Winter Classes- what is everyone taking???

    FurmanGirl replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We called the fall/winter/spring system trimesters, they're not really quarters or semesters, b/c summer wasn't included in the normal school year. Either way, we referred to them as semesters, b/c...

  10. Please help me understand/Domestic Violence Question

    FurmanGirl replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    You should try looking up "battered wife syndrome". It's actually a bonafide syndrome, and sometimes a self defense in trials where a wife kills her abusive spouse (though it should be renamed to be...

  11. Fertililty & cycle questions galore

    FurmanGirl replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've done a lot of reading about this. Though it's too much to write here, if you can, go to the library and see if they have Understanding Human Sexuality 8th ed by Hyde and DeLamater. Or, you can...

  12. Winter Classes- what is everyone taking???

    FurmanGirl replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My undergrad school have fall/winter/spring. Winter term was horrid. Two months, barely, of classes that met an hour and 15 minutes every day. But we only took two classes (8 hours). It was...

  13. Why can't I shadow a nurse...

    FurmanGirl replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Nursing Career

    If you're a student and could possibly take a class that allows you to do an independent study/internship, the hospital will more than likely work with you. I'd call the hospital directly. Either way...

  14. Please answer for my class research paper

    FurmanGirl replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    I think animal research is completely ok, as long as the researchers follow the ethical treatment guidelines (which implies that the research has a goal of advancing human welfare). As a biology...

  15. Do Doctors Really Care?

    FurmanGirl replied to Chicklet2's topic in General Nursing

    I've had problems like that, too. If you feel there's something more wrong, ALWAYS get a second opinion. I chipped the lower part of my femur and the bone was floating around my patella. VERY...

  16. Why can't I shadow a nurse...

    FurmanGirl replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey! First of all, some nursing programs require that you have some sort of healthcare/volunteer experience to ensure that you've been exposed to what it's really like. It's basically to weed out...

  17. RN Certification

    FurmanGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a simple question about taking the NCLEX and receiving certification as an RN. Is the test different by state? In other words, if I take it in SC, do I need to retake it when and if I move to...

  18. RN Certification

    FurmanGirl replied to FurmanGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks everyone! I'm not even a nursing student, yet. I was just looking into future possibilities. I do have another question to add, though. And I'm sure it varies... I've heard that nurses...

  19. limited space availably

    FurmanGirl replied to smilysmile's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I saw a post just the other day listing schools with no waiting lists. Search under "no waiting list" and it should pop right up. However, just b/c there is no waiting list, doesn't mean they...

  20. Is This Unheard Of 2 School At Once???

    FurmanGirl replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure if you've looked into it or not, or how community colleges work, but some schools don't allow you to be enrolled in another school while you're attending. If it's allowed, go for it....

  21. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    FurmanGirl replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    MUSC has both a nursing (BSN and MSN) program and a PA program. I once asked the Dean of Nursing to help clarify the difference b/w pursuing the PA or MSN before I applied. Simply put, she told me...

  22. Anyone with held old transcripts?

    FurmanGirl replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's the same at ALL schools. I say shameful, b/c you're lying on a signed LEGAL document. Hello, it's illegal for one. It IS doubtful that they would prosecute, but it's not woth losing a seat...

  23. Anyone with held old transcripts?

    FurmanGirl replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I could do that, but unfortunately, I cannot. I'm not sure I would, even if I could, seeing as how most of my prereqs are at a better school with a higher GPA. On EVERY applicaton I have...

  24. Anyone had to retake classes for higher grde?

    FurmanGirl replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off, most schools will place both grades in your GPA, NOT just the highest, so it may not help that much if it was a C. Secondly, all the schools that have a min of number of classes you can...

  25. Cumlative grade point average

    FurmanGirl replied to Ceejaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on the school, I just posted this same advice on a previous post in the pre-nursing forum, check it out. Hope this
